The album was nominated for Best Long Form Music Video at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards,[11] and named one of the greatest releases of the year by Blender.[12] The song "Moses", exclusive to the album, was written about Chris Martin's then-wife Gwyneth Paltrow and inspired the name of their second child,[13] born in 2006.[14] It was sent to alternative radio stations in the United States as a promotional single on 6 October,[15] while the recording of "Clocks" had a promotional push in countries such as Mexico and Spain.
